A US mother is in prison after allegedly attempting to fatally poison her four children on Christmas Day.
Connie Villa, 35, forced her children aged 3,5, 8 and 13 to swallow prescription narcotics, according to police in Casa Grande, Arizona. The eldest, Aniarael Macias, was found dead in the family's bathroom, AZ Central reports.
The father of the younger three children, Adam Villa, called police on Wednesday night to say his wife had lured him to the apartment before stabbing him repeatedly.
He called emergency services as he drove himself to the hospital.
When police forced their way into the home, they came upon a frightening scene. Connie was in the kitchen holding a knife to her chest, with the three younger children by her side. She had stab wounds to her upper torso that appeared to be self-inflicted.
Aniarael's body was discovered in the bathroom. A cause of death was not immediately apparent and toxicology reports may take several weeks.
The younger children appeared unharmed but later tested positive in hospital for traces of opiates.

"She was a gentle, kind and beautiful spirit who was taken from us much too soon. Michael and his family are heartbroken. Ania was always smiling. She loved her brothers and sisters. She enjoyed spending time with her father and sister Gaby.
"We are writing this statement in hopes that the media and other outlets will allow Michael and our family to grieve peacefully. We thank everyone for the outpouring of support for our family. We appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts. We pray that justice will be served."
